As long as we on for 4 qtrs and make it difficult for them, we are in with a chance. Games like this agains teams like Syd at this time of the year are invaluable. Have faith, one more round fellas.

Smedts would be stiff to miss out if he's fit.  Eight tackles was a fair effort and we'll need to apply the same sort of tackle pressure as we did against the Hawks.

Fraser gave Cuningham a decent review and his 'bigger body' comment is interesting.  Cuningham would seem to be the logical replacement if Smedts doesn't come up.

I heard roos on a press conference.

I am extremely worried that they will touch us up.

Roos was asked if they would see this match as a chance to boost percentage and he responded that they're just focused on winning the game.

Sounded like he was very aware of what they are up against and what needs to be done to win.

No ACoS this time around, no Rowe, ACoS played a super game of Franklin last time.

I think the Swans will be set for revenge, but you never know what a little confidence against an opponent will bring.

Hopefully we can stay in the match early, grind away and annoy the crape out of them.

Yes. Whilst a win against a team like the Swans on their own dung heap would be huge, and an awesome way to finish, my realistic best hope is that we do our usual sneak ahead in the last and lose by a narrow margin.

Yes, but Buddy hasn't had the Energiser Bunny treatment yet  :)

Den Den replacing SOJ, I like it. Gives us two good defensive forwards who can also impact the scoreboard.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

2 good sized outs for the swans. Papley is a difficult match up for us and Hannebery is a very consistent ball winner.

SOJ has looked to be playing under duress with that shoulder for weeks so I don't see him as a massive loss for this game.

Den Den will leave nothing behind. Play him on Rampe and Lamb on Mills to try and make them accountable and slow them down out defence.

I have a sneaking good feeling about this one, but I think that is blind hope that we finally get to see a win in Sydney after 6 long years more than anything. Just reckon the boys might be up for this after such a great win last week and wanting to put an exclamation mark on the season.
